As Tribunes we are your link between your wishes and the higher authorities and therefore you are more than welcome to participate and bring ideas and suggestions.

As you may be aware, this year is Romanum 10th anniversary and special events will be organized for the occasion. Everybody in Romanum are invited to participate either directly in holding and/or organizing an event. During the same period the Olympics games will be held. Definitive dates are still to be confirmed but we are looking to the last two weeks of March. If any of you would like to help one way of another please contact any of us.
Thank you.

Ruggeris Britannicus asked the Tribunate if they were aware of what Proconsul Booker had already planned. To which the Lead replied that nothing had been transpired to the Tribunes.
Duracuir suggested that a planning of activities should be obtained facilitating new ideas. To that, Jonny replied he had previously attended a meeting on the aforementioned matter and Senate had already discussed this issue. He suggested the Tribunate to coordinate with Senator Janu who is dealing with the calendar.
Deo Rónán Parthicus suggested a wrestling tournament for the Festivities, to which the Lead replied that may be already in planning. This point was reiterated by Ruggeris as being maybe part of the Olympics. Further on to the wrestling, Josh suggested that such tournament could be done for the length of the celebrations. Forth, Ruggeris suggested that these items may be referring to Pankration, which used to be staged weekly at the old Pompeii Arena.
Furthermore, Deo suggested a foot race with hurtles and barricades along the course to jump to get to the end. Lead remarked that such event may also be in planning for the Olympics.
Sir Helios then, took the floor conveying the good to his heart, those many thoughts by everyone present, brought and, mentioned that 10 years is not only a testament to our Emperor’s leadership but to all Citizens past, present and future.
Forthwith, Duracuir suggested that Tribunes should try to speak to Citizens or/and Servus one on one to get their suggestions as well as requesting that someone, for new members (and others), should write a text describing the foundation of Romanum. Lead replied these may be on the Romanum website. On the subject of contact, Sir Helios proposed that an office be manned by the Tribunes to meet Citizens. — suggestion, the Lead was going to put to the Tribunate during the next private meeting —.

— Various Items from the floor.

Lead also reminded that instruction to be presented to the Citizen had been requested.
Dax then remarked on a potential lack of communication as a possible problem for the Tribunes since he was not aware of any planning meeting concerning the Anniversary celebration nor has he seen a calendar for the Olympics. To this Jonny pointed that the meeting concerning the Anniversary celebration had been advertised on both Empire and VIP groups. Lead also mentioned he was hoping to have minutes to inform the Tribunes. On the subject Ruggeris proposed that a tribune may be designated to monitor and report plans avoiding duplicating ideas.
